Grant Michaels

Career

Michaels, also credited as Skyler Hawks, is documented on Wikidata as a South African national with a birthplace in Zimbabwe. He performed from 2004, including for Colt Studio Group and in the series Straight Guys For Gay Eyes, before stepping away from the industry around 2005, citing a return to his Christian beliefs. He was the older brother of fellow performer Justin Magnum and died of a heart attack on 19 July 2024, aged 54.

Signature: A one-year, deliberately ended career, publicly explained by the performer himself rather than left unexplained — an unusually documented exit for this category.
